CONGRATULATIONS!!!

However, I don't consider you to now be a runner....I considered you a runner the moment you set foot outside the door. You are now a runner of 9 weeks standing, and I slate you.

THATS TRUE

Well done on graduating - your enthusiasm just shines through your posts.

To get your badge find the pinned posts - they come up when you select 'all posts' or any topic. Then a post called 'graduation badge' can be selected. If you leave your name on there your name should acquire a shiny 'graduate' badge next to it.
